It was good to see Secretary of State Hillary Clinton return to work[2] after suffering from complications resulting from a concussion.

Clinton, who had a stomach virus when she passed out and hit her head, had sustained a blood clot in her head.

On Monday, when Clinton returned to work at the State Department, about 75 senior aides gave her a standing ovation — and a heavily padded football helmet.
